Publisher Devolver Digital and developer All Possible Futures have shared a new gameplay trailer for The Plucky Squire, their upcoming action-platformer set to launch this month.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus the new gameplay:

The Plucky Squire follows the magical adventures of Jot and his friends – storybook characters who discover a three-dimensional world outside the pages of their book.

When the malevolent Humgrump realizes he’s the villain of the book – destined to lose his battle against the forces of good for all eternity – he kicks the heroic Jot out of its pages and changes the story forever.

Jot must face challenges, unlike anything he’s ever seen if he is to save his friends from Humgrump’s dark forces and restore the book’s happy ending.

Jump between 2D and 3D worlds in this charming action-adventure – solving puzzles, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, and enjoying many more delightful and surprising mini-challenges as you become the hero of a living storybook.

 

The Plucky Squire is launching on September 17, 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5.
